1. The 2nd time around...

   Kewlchik posted a topic in NCLEX

   Well the first time I took the NCLEX-RN I had studied of course but went into the exam with a little TOO much confidence. I didn't take any breaks, and once I got to 200 questions I really started to panic and instead of focusing on answering the qu...

2. nclex passed 2nd time... my take on it

   Kewlchik replied to deliteful's topic in NCLEX

   First of all...CONGRATS on finally PASSING! Your story about nursing school sound similar to mine. Nursing was my 2nd degree and actually I scored with a 98% chance of passing the NCLEX and failed the first time.. I was devestated. But was given a...

3. Kaplan readiness test..

   Kewlchik replied to Andy123's topic in NCLEX

   Yes! because I believe the number you're shooting for is 65%. Just out of curiosity...how were you scoring on your question trainers? I take the exam in a few days and feel in a bit of a funk, I can't seem to score more than a 55 or 60%! and it say...

4. Kaplan free practice NCLEX-RN?

   Kewlchik replied to LVAD RN's topic in NCLEX

   I guess it depends on who you ask. I thought Kaplan was much more acurate to how the NCLEX questions really were. I used Saunders book and Mosby's flash cards along with an ATI CD with a 1000+ review questions...got all 265 questions on the NCLEX and...

5. Really concerned about retake in 2 weeks... advice?

   Kewlchik posted a topic in NCLEX

   I am retaking the NCLEX-RN in 2 weeks and am having an AWFUL time studying these last few weeks. For my 2nd time around I bought the comprehensive online Kaplan class (as suggested from a fellow RN who failed her first time as well). I found out in...

6. NCLEX Takers Support Thread

   Kewlchik replied to mat25:40's topic in NCLEX

   I really like your idea about closing your eyes every 5 questions. I have such HORRIBLE test anxiety (which I think is what did me in the first time I took it). I'll have to remember that one and try it when I re-take the exam. Thanks!

7. Anyone been at a clinic taken over by DaVita or FMS?

   Kewlchik replied to wordsmith's topic in Urology

   I was at a Gambro unit that was bought by Davita. The only thing I noticed was that they combined some of the positions that we had in place and layed off a few people. It wasn't huge though. I think in my large clinic there were 2 people that los...

8. Failed Twice

   Kewlchik replied to elsietwo's topic in NCLEX

   I'm feeling you! It's hard when everyone around you is passing and you feel stuck because you cannnot get past this obstacle. You will get past this! I'm a horrible test taker and I remember sitting in the exam just panicing because the questions ...

    Kewlchik replied to Esther2007's topic in Student Assist

    Nusring school beat up on me good today. I'm in my first semester and today I failed my final skills test. Yeah, I can take it again but it's just making me so angry. :angryfire I would have understood if it was something important but it really wasn...

    Kewlchik replied to badgerbabe287's topic in Wisconsin

    Hi there... I'm in my first semester at UWM and don't know much about the program at Madison but I know that. At UWM it depends on if you're applying in the fall or spring. I was accepted in the spring where UWM took 96 students. They just sent ou...
